Navigating Horizon Europe’s 2025 Work Programme means dealing with twelve separate documents, each several hundred pages long. These include funding calls, eligibility conditions, strategic priorities, and legal annexes—making it difficult to locate critical information quickly. To address this challenge, poltextLAB developed a domain-specific Custom GPT (Horizon Navigator '
In our earlier posts, we explored how useful existing Custom GPTs are for academic tasks and explained how to create your own GPT from scratch. This follow-up post puts those insights into practice by introducing QuantiCheck—a Custom GPT we developed specifically to assess the methodological rigour and reproducibility of
In our previous blog post, we examined how useful publicly available Custom GPTs are for academic tasks. While many showed promise, especially for brainstorming or outlining, they often fell short in areas where accuracy, source verification, and methodological transparency are crucial. In short: if your work demands high standards of
As generative AI tools become increasingly integrated into academic practice, researchers are beginning to explore the use of Custom GPTs—personalised AI variants that operate according to predefined instructions, tone, or tasks. These agents can be configured for specific roles or workflows, such as teaching support, literature exploration, or data
As ChatGPT is increasingly used in academic research, understanding how to manage privacy, control data usage, and make informed choices about sharing outputs has become essential. While our previous blog post focused on configuring the ChatGPT interface—through settings such as personalisation, memory, and model selection—this follow-up explores tools
As GenAI tools become increasingly embedded in academic workflows, researchers seek ways to tailor these systems to their specific needs. OpenAI’s ChatGPT interface offers a number of personalisation options and privacy-focused features that can significantly enhance research efficiency, consistency, and ethical compliance. This blog post introduces the key settings
With the rapid advancement of GenI tools, researchers now have access to innovative ways to improve their manuscripts before journal submission. One such method involves using custom GPT-based reviewers to gain preliminary feedback. To practically evaluate the usefulness of these GPT-driven reviewing tools, we tested the Scientific Paper Reviewer – ChatGPT
